| Grammie's Jammies 2021 |
I can reveal the pajamas I created this year, now that the packages have been opened. Grandson got a onesie, too, but I wasn't sure about size for him, so we ordered a onsie that could be returned if they didn't fit. I promised a photo for us when he wears them, but he giggled when he opened them. I guess I hadn't considered that College Boy lives with three other young gents in his dorm, and perhaps he might (or might not) wear them after vacation.
The ladies loved theirs. Soft fleece in whimsical prints. They were a definite hit...which you might be able to tell from the photograph they sent to me. I was told they were a perfect fit, and I'm happy about that. I feared the corgis would be too big, and that the deer would be too long (I added 3" to the length, and they fell at the ankle bone, so I'm glad they weren't any shorter!). I'm pretty sure I could make them again next year in another print and they'd love them just as much.
I won't be sewing for a bit now. Destiny and Jane will be going to the spa for a much needed, post-holiday tune-up. I'm going to bake this week, and I always have knitting and needlework to occupy my hands and creative muse.
Did you have a nice holiday? Did you travel or stay home? What do you have planned for this week, and for New Year's Eve? Do you go out to celebrate, or do you stay home like Handsome and I always have? It will be a quiet night here, sharing a nice meal and seeing in 2022. That's how we best love bringing in a new year. More on that later. Tag will be back tomorrow for his last post of 2021. Hard to believe, isn't it?
The jammies are too cute.
ReplyDeleteOur Holiday was good, we went to my nephews.
Oh, way too much food!
We will have a quiet new Years Eve with a nice meal.

Thanks, Marilyn. I’m so glad you had a good Christmas and could spend time with family. That’s always the best. I’m a homebody on New Years, too.

It certainly looks as though the jammies were a big hit.
ReplyDeleteNo New Year's Eve celebrations here and Christmas was just the two of us, but we did get to do a video call with our family out west to see them opening their gifts and yesterday we did a short video call with our family that lives about 2 hours away. Our son (a chef) had to work Christmas and will work New Year's too so we're hopeful that we can do a quick visit when he has a day off - whenever that might be.
Hi MA-
DeleteI think you’re right! The sure loved them.
This is the best use of technology if you ask me! We spoke with our niece (who lives in another state), and it was so nice seeing her and hearing her voice.
Chef’s work so hard and they don’t get enough recognition, IMHO. I hope you get to celebrate with him soon.

Love your Onesie Grammy Jammies. Looks like they were well received. No going out for New Years…left all that foolery years ago. Quiet week of appointments, household cleanings and lots of decluttering (maybe). Happy and Healthy 2022 dear.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Sherry.
DeleteI’m with you! Staying home for New Years. We call it “amateur night”, so we just cocoon here. It sounds like you’ll have a busy week, and I want to know how the “decluttering “ works. I’m considering making that my 2022 Word. Not just my environs, but my mind, and my schedule. Hmmm. I’ll keep you posted.

Cute Jammies! I traveled to Utah to spend Christmas with family. Despite the thousands of cancellations and delays, I was able to return home on Tuesday with no problems. Quiet NYE with some hand stitching and maybe a glass of wine Happy New Year!!
